OWAA is heading to the southeastern outdoor mecca of Chattanooga on August 19-21, 2025 (be sure to leave room for some pre- and post-tours too).
There is easy access to top venues for rock climbing, biking, hiking, hang gliding, and more, all within a short drive of downtown and our host hotel. There’s also a beautiful 13-mile Riverwalk that runs along the Tennessee River or you can explore Tennessee’s Grand Canyon using the Tennessee River Gorge outdoor recreation map created by the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Hotel
The Read House will be our hotel headquarters. The downtown property reflects its historic 1920s splendor while catering to modern tastes. It will be an excellent (and elegant) basecamp for pre- and post-tours, day trips, city excursions and conference attendees’ other outdoor adventures. Plus attendees will be able to stay for the special rate of just $129/night, August 17-21 (note however that due to weekend rates being higher, our discounted rates outside the core conference days are $169/Manor and $189/Tower).
Book your room here.
